Not to be outdone, Shifrin’s former employer, Next Media Animation, posted a response video, showing off their rooftop pool and sauna, wishing Marina well, and, oh yeah, announcing that they’re hiring.

In the email, Simon said, “look, I actually like Marina a great deal,” and detailed Shifrin’s pay and the expectations of the company, neither of which seemed unreasonable. He also detailed his intentions in his responses. Simon defended her managers who have apparently received some nasty feedback from the public in light of the video.

While interacting with readers in the comments, Simon said Shifrin’s former colleagues were reluctant to even produce a response video because they didn’t want people to think they were being nasty.

The email has a very human touch and isn’t at all like the form emails usually sent out by companies in response to public firings or resignation. If you do end up watching the video, give Simon’s email a read too.
